Will you be getting CFD analysis done on such a high price item?

We already made some early on CFD simulations but will be getting some proper tests done as soon the wing is done. In the first stages we did get som slight improved caracteristics. So we know that the wing aint perform bad.

@DF-Aero : do you perhaps have a render of the wing fitted on the car as if you would stand behind it (so completely the back, not shot from the side) ?

They will do heat tests and durability tests to see that the wing stays the same shape over and over depending on weather etc.

So this is in a way good news.

Ill keep you all posted.
Looks like I'll be waiting for the 2nd batch of wings to come out. I plan on painting mine to match the body color, and there would be no point to buy that super nice carbon fiber piece and then just paint over it. I've already waited this long... might as well hold out.

Nearly a year later and this product hasn't come out. I understand that it's hard work. I loved it, but I think I'm moving on.

Your overreacting, on most other cars it takes years to have an aftermarket. We are spoiled when it comes to the twins, extremely spoiled but i'm not the only one who has noticed all the good stuff is coming out now or very soon.

I am truly disappointed to have waited this long to know that the first production will be a high grade cf version, which yes will probably cost over $1000 probably not including shipping to North America. I might as well just go Voltex.

I do not like the new design. For 1000$ a wing you might sell 5. Its too round at the top. We aren't driving vw beetles FYI.

The roundness is exactly what I'm looking for. I hate the flat ones
